NWI INGO General Thread #27 - Fresh Pink Air On US-30 smells like...

[d.kaufman]

So Monday will act like a Monday only hotter than normal and rain storms for the win.

Tomorrow looks to be pretty brutal for those that work outdoors or in buildings without ac. I cant wait

We need to buy NIPSCO stock and try to get some of our money back. Need to hide in your office and close the shop for the day.

Lost a downspout to the wind.

It was 2.5 stories tall.

I don’t have a ladder tall enough to reach. Going to have to check with the neighbors to see if someone has a very long ladder. I think a guy down the road has a 30’ ladder? He was going to buy one. Wonder if he did?

30 ft? I know you haven't gotten to where you are now by needing my advice, but I'm going to say it anyhow;

Make the phone call. Stay off the 30 ft ladder.

Except for that pesky 80mph winds thing...

That is a big sucker - maybe you can find it.

I have had to chase down a couple of 5 or 6 foot extensions now and then.

Was there a week ago. XL Brisket sammich, cherry lime-ade, beaver nuggets ×2!

Munched on the 2nd bag of Beaver Nuggets on the way to the Dells today. Opted for the Presidential Suite so my SIL's family could part ways in house.

OH . . . I DON'T GO UP THAT HIGH.

My roof scares the living hell out of me. The house sits on a fairly steep ridgeline, this is the back wall, so the ground is sloped down to the river. From ground to gutter is probably 24'-ish. My ladder is only 16' tall. The gutter sits 48" from the wall of the house because I have extra wide eves around the house.

I've made the phone call, but I need to borrow the ladder for younger guy who is willing to climb it to reattach the downspout.

I actually have all the pieces. Probably need to get a couple new brackets that attach to the wall of the house, those are twisted, but the downspout is in good (enough) shape.

In my 20s, I would run around my roof. It's something around a 45 degree angle. No big deal. I would cut the trees back, cause they kept attacking the edge of the roof trying to rip off the shingles.

Last time I went up in the fall, I looked down, felt a LOT fatter and more frail than before, and said.. F it.

Fortunately, I bought one of those electric chain saws on a pole.

At some point I realized I was not indestructible and falling hurts. So I try to avoid doing stuff that young people tend to "bounce back" from but that would likely cause me to break my hip!

New round of storms will be here shortly

 

[repeter1977]

Already storming again
